Arkveld Apex1 Electric Dirt Bike for Adults

Power. Range. Comfort. Confidence.

Meet the Arkveld Apex1—a fat-tire, motorcycle-style e-bike designed to flatten hills, float over rough terrain, and turn long rides into easy afternoons. Whether you’re exploring forest roads, cruising the beach, commuting across town, or riding winter hardpack, the Apex1 brings serious watt-hours and torque to every ride.

For more details, please read our full review of the Arkveld Apex1.

Why You’ll Love It (Key Highlights)

Peak 3,000W Punch – 2,000W brushless rear hub motor (3,000W peak) for quick launches, strong hill climbing, and confident cruising up to 40 mph (where legal).
1.5kWh Battery = Real Range – 48V 32Ah removable pack (≈1,536Wh), UL 2849 certified; ride 45–90 miles per charge depending on mode, rider weight, and terrain.
Dual Suspension Comfort – Hydraulic front fork + rear shock soak up washboard, potholes, and ruts for a smooth, controlled ride.
Hydraulic Dual Disc Brakes – Strong, predictable stopping power on steep descents and in wet conditions.
25×4″ All-Terrain Fat Tires – Extra grip and float on gravel, sand, snow, and loose surfaces.
Color LCD + 3 Ride Modes – Bike Mode, Pedal-Assist (PAS), and Full-Electric Throttle; monitor speed, battery, PAS level, trip data.
Built Strong – High-carbon-steel frame rated to 330 lb max load; suits riders 5’4″–6’6″.
Quick Setup – Arrives about 90% assembled with tools and step-by-step video.
After-Sales Support – Backed by 12-month customer service.

Note on speed & rules: The Apex1 can be limited via the display to comply with local e-bike regulations. Always check your area’s laws before riding and wear appropriate protective gear.

Performance You Can Feel

Climb with Confidence: The high-torque hub motor handles steep grades (up to ~35° in ideal conditions) without drama. Start in a low PAS level for best traction, then dial up as terrain allows.
Cruise Farther: The oversized 1.5kWh battery keeps range anxiety at bay. Expect the long end of the range at modest speeds with pedaling; fast throttle-only riding will shorten range (as it does on any e-bike).
Stop on a Dime: Hydraulic discs with large rotors provide strong, consistent braking—essential on a 40-mph-capable machine.
Ride All Year: Fat tires and suspension tame rough roads, campsite paths, winter hardpack, and beach sand (adjust tire pressure to the surface).

Size & Fit

Best for riders 5’4″–6’6″.
Saddle height ≈33″ and motorcycle-style seating = very stable at speed; shorter riders should plan stop/starts accordingly.
If you’re near the lower end of the height range, consider practicing mounts/dismounts in a safe area.

Charging & Battery Care

Charge indoors at room temperature when possible.
For storage longer than 2 weeks, keep the battery around 30–80% and top up monthly.
Avoid leaving the battery at 100% in high heat for extended periods.

Safety & Compliance

The Apex1’s high performance may exceed e-bike limits on certain public roads/paths. Use the speed limiter where required and follow local laws.
Wear a DOT-rated or e-moto helmet, gloves, and visible clothing.
Perform a quick pre-ride check: tire pressure, brakes, axle nuts/quick-releases, and battery latch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How fast does it go?
Up to 40 mph in full-power mode. You can set a lower limit in the display to comply with local rules.

Q2: What range can I expect?
Advertised 45–90 miles per charge. Heavier riders, high speeds, steep hills, strong winds, or soft surfaces (sand/snow) reduce range. Moderate PAS and steady speeds extend it.

Q3: How long to fully charge?
Typically 6–7 hours from low to full with the included fast charger.

Q4: Can I ride on sand or snow?
Yes. Lower tire pressure (e.g., 12–15 psi) for soft surfaces; re-inflate for pavement. Avoid submerging electrical components.

Q5: Is the battery removable?
Yes. It locks into the frame and can be removed for charging or storage.

Q6: What rider size does it fit?
Recommended 5’4″–6’6″; max load 330 lb.

Q7: What assembly is required?
The bike arrives about 90% assembled. Install the front wheel/handlebar/pedals, then adjust brakes and controls. A video guide and tools are included.

Q8: What’s the warranty?
The Apex1 is backed by 12-month after-sales service. Keep your order number and photos/videos if you ever need support.

Q9: Does it have pedal assist and throttle?
Yes. Choose Bike Mode, PAS, or Full-Electric Throttle directly from the LCD.

Q10: Are the brakes hydraulic?
Yes—hydraulic dual disc brakes front and rear.

Who It’s For

Riders who want serious torque and long range for backroads, beach cruising, campsite loops, or rural commuting.
Bigger riders or gear haulers who value a stout frame and fat-tire stability.
Anyone who prefers motorcycle-style comfort over lightweight bicycle nimbleness.

Who It’s Not For

Apartment dwellers who must carry a bike up stairs (it’s ≈120 lb).
Riders limited to paths with strict Class 2/3 caps unless you plan to use the built-in speed limiter.
Shoppers seeking a light, quick-handling trail MTB feel.

Final Word

If you want a powerful, long-range, go-anywhere e-moto that prioritizes stability, comfort, and battery capacity, the Arkveld Apex1 should be at the top of your list. Set your preferred PAS and speed limit, gear up, and enjoy the ride.
